⚠️ Note: ID Wizard is not affiliated with any government authority, including the DGPR or the Ministère de l'Intérieur of Benin. Benin issues a biometric CEDEAO (ECOWAS) passport conforming to ICAO standards. Beninese passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to EU/Schengen countries — the same 35×45mm ICAO photo format is required for Schengen visa applications. Religious headwear (e.g. hijab) is permitted under ICAO guidelines provided the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible. Always verify current requirements with the relevant authority before applying.
